240 Central Park South - Overview
Completed in 1941, 240 Central Park South has been designated an individual New York City Landmark. Comprised of two separate towers, the larger of the two – a twenty-eight floor residential tower – is located at the southeastern part of Columbus Circle facing Central Park. The smaller, fifteen floor tower sits at the corner of Broadway and 58th Street. Connecting the two towers is a one story lobby and storefronts that run along Broadway. A complete restoration project began in 2003. All areas of the building’s exterior and interior were addressed, including the following:
Façade Restoration (Masonry Replacement & Cleaning, Chimney Replacement) Roof, Terrace & Balcony Replacement Courtyard Restoration Storefront Replacement Electrical Upgrade and Hallway Renovation Lobby Restoration Elevator Modernization Roof Landscape Installation 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Restoration 240 Central Park South – Façade Detail 240 Central Park South - Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Terrace Replacement 240 Central Park South – Window Repairs 240 Central Park South – Mosaic Restoration 240 Central Park South – Terracotta Restoration 58th Street Entrance 240 Central Park South – Terracotta Restoration Central Park South Entrance
